WordPress Releases 3.0.1, Comes Out with Quick Fix

July 30th, 2010 posted by Chris Jacobson · 1 Comment

It seems like just a few weeks ago WordPress came out with a new version — that’s because it was. It’s been just 43 days since WordPress 3.0 was released, and already the developer has come out with an upgrade.

Late Thursday night, WordPress 3.0.1 starting appearing in bloggers’ dashboards.

WordPress says it’s a small miscellaneous bug fix, but hopefully they fixed the issue when upgrading plugins.

Many bloggers have been complaining for over a month that the new automated upgrade feature for plugins is a bit buggy. The issue appears to cause the entire WordPress installation to stall as the little progress wheel spins. Eventually you have to manually go in and upgrade the plugins you want, as the automated feature just can’t handle it.

The new version seems to remedy that issue. It’s also a very solid release, and you shouldn’t worry about breaking your installation.

Upgrading was painless and easy.
